Monday Makeup Reviews

Happy Monday Everyone! I have a few reviews for you after taking multiple trips to Sephora this past weekend. Heehee.

Product Review #1

Product: Veil Foundation by Hourglass - $60.00

Claim: Long-lasting, flawless foundation that promotes younger looking skin.

Review: I know I said before that I tried this and didn't like it, but after all the rave reviews, I wanted to give it another chance. This time I tried it using a stippling brush which made a world of a difference. It does give a dewey, slightly airbrushed look. Supposedly one pump is enough, but I find I need a little extra. I have really oily skin, and this doesn't make a difference, I am still pulling out my blotting papers later in the day. You supposedly do not need a concealer either, but I still use one to cover up any redness.

Rating: I give this foundation 4 out of 5 stars. I do like how my skin looks, but it does come with a hefty price tag. So, if you don't mind shelling out a good chunk of change, then definitely give it a try. Want to try this for free? Click here and try 3 free samples of your choice!

Product Review #2


Product: Urban Decay Big Fatty Waterproof Mascara - $20.00

Claim: A moisturizing waterproof mascara that will plump, thicken and elongate your lashes without leaving them dry and brittle.

Review: I didn't feel like my lashes looked any thicker or longer with this mascara. It did seem to have good staying power for a waterproof mascara, but it was really difficult to remove with my eyemakeup remover pads. And can we talk about the packaging for a second?? What were they thinking?!

Rating: I give this mascara 2 out of 5 stars. It wasn't any better than the cheaper drugstore brands I have used, and it didn't live up to it's claims. I would not buy this mascara again and I don't recommend it.

Product Review #3



Product: Buxom Lips Lipgloss - $18.00

Claim: Fuller, more voluptuous lips without the sticky feel.

Review: I noticed right away a very strange, cold and tingly feeling when I applied this lipgloss, which I'm guessing is aiding in the plumpness of the lips. After some time, my lips did look plumper and the gloss had a nice smell/taste to it. The range of colors are really beautiful.

Rating: I'm on the fence. I guess I would give this product a rating of 3 out of 5 stars. I love the colors, and it does do what it claims, however I don't like the cold tingly feeling at all and it started to bother me after awhile. Definitely one to try if you like the thought of plumper lips, since it may just be personal preference for how it feels on.
